Answer:

I've heard that phrase tossed around lately by women who've made a lot of bad romantic decisions. Maybe they woke up in a couple of beds they wish they hadn't, or were burned By Bad Boys They Became involved with too fast. They hope that taking a few months off from hooking up will give them time to clear their head and start over with a clean slate. Either that or they're just not getting laid anyway. If you run into a woman who claims to be on a booty fast, don't take it too seriously. Just smile and suggest that you're willing to help her break it.
